Seems fairly rational. I recon two of the most common reasons people leave are boredom and unsatisfying career progression. So all you have to do is ensure people have interesting work and pay/promote them at a rate that is competitive with their option of switching jobs to achieve that goal.

I think similarly. But these are also the two things that require companies to restructure in order to be able to reliably offer them to employees. I went through this two years ago with my last employer. When it came right down to it, I didn't really have a place there. When my job was made redundant, my departure was bittersweet. There was a time when they were open to expanding my role and giving me a direct report. But they decided to move in another direction. It's more than just "treating employees well." A lot more.

So all you have to do is ensure people have interesting work My current job is very interesting - I’m leading a team building a brand new green field system and building a modern software development shop simultaneously (CI/CD, automated testing, newest version of everything), I have almost complete autonomy in how things are architected and the resources (money, people) to make it happen. But once I get done, I don’t see anything the company can do to keep my job “interesting”. If you were on the iPhone team in 2006 at Apple, what could Apple possibly do to keep you from getting bored?
